Climbing in Red Rocks after heavy rain can permanently damage the rock! MORE INFO >>>

The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN RED ROCKS during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description

This is an area of cliffs a few hundred yards east of Lotta Balls, on the south side of the canyon.

Getting There

Follow the First Creek trail into the mouth of the canyon. A few hundred yards before reaching the Lotta Balls Wall is the actual Mudterm cliff. It is a small white outcrop above an area of pink rock. There are many broken buttresses and ribs nearby.
